02The evidence
Coffee Stain Studios ran a 5.5-year early access that ended in a stable 1.0 on September 10, 2024, shipped a crash-focused hotfix within days, then put out over a dozen smaller patches before the free 1.1 content update in June 2025. Console versions (PS5, Xbox Series X/S) shipped November 4, 2025 with 1.1 feature parity after the studio openly disclosed delays, and a first paid DLC (Core Values) was announced in September 2026. Weekly dev streams, a public QA site read daily by the team, and 97 percent positive Steam reviews across more than 130,000 reviews round out a steady stewardship record.
- Post-1.0 crashes and launch bugs were hotfixed within days, with more than a dozen smaller patches following before 1.1.
- All post-1.0 content so far has been free, and the console ports shipped with stated feature parity to PC.
- Delays (console ports, postponed rain system) and missing features (PC-console cross-play) were disclosed proactively with technical explanations, not silence.
- Saves remain compatible back to the 2019 early access build, and the public QA site is read by the team every day.
